Your eye cones can easily get tired if they are being over-stimulated. They will become insensitive and stop responding. To counteract this, the eye moves continuously. However, if the colour section is too large, the eye movement doesn't work, and the cones tire out. If you stare at an image with large blue sections for twenty seconds, the blue cones in your eye stop responding, and when you look away, something white will appear orange.

In 19th century Wales, English was the only accepted language in schools. Children who were caught speaking Welsh were administered the Welsh Not punishment: a piece of wood with the letters WN inscribed was hung on them.

The Welsh Brothers (known as black Welsh) would be blinging that shit with gold plate and add chain walk up and down downtown Welsh say'in, "Oh my my I'm fly fly fly with with my blinging WN...bitch's...I saw that in a history book somewhere...

Sound like different eras The Black Welsh is from way before when the English was trying too take Wales from 1066-1282 Llywelyn the Lasts(Death).If they did take all Wales they never did a good job of it because the beginning of the 20th century everybody was still talking Welsh what took the welsh out of Wales was all the Coal Slate(ECT),NOT enuff Welsh workers so You Guessed it the place got over run with English

ETYMOLOGY:From Terpsichore, the Muse of dancing and choral song in Greek mythology. The word Terpsichore is the feminine form of terpsichoros (delighting in the dance), a combination of Greek terpein (to delight) and khoros (dance), which is ultimately from the Indo-European root gher- (to grasp or to enclose), also the source of chorus, carol, choir, garth, court, and garden. Earliest documented use: 1825.

USAGE:"Each week, performers on the Fox terpsichorean competition So You Think You Can Dance have to learn new dance routines."Rick Bentley; Choreographers Put Hearts Into Dance Too; The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio); Sep 3, 2012.

Customer: Good Morning.

Owner: Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium!

Customer: Ah, thank you, my good man.

Owner: What can I do for you, Sir?

Customer: Well, I was, uh, sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now, skimming through Rogue Herrys by Hugh Walpole, and I suddenly came over all peckish.

Owner: Peckish, sir?

Customer: Esuriant.

Owner: Eh?

Customer: 'Ee, ah wor 'ungry-loike!

Owner: Ah, hungry!

Customer: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, "a little fermented curd will do the trick," so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!

Owner: Come again?

Customer: I want to buy some cheese.

Owner: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the bazouki player!

Customer: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse!

Owner: Sorry?

Customer: 'Ooo, Ah lahk a nice tuune, 'yer forced too!

Owner: So he can go on playing, can he?

Customer: Most certainly! Now then, some cheese please, my good man.

Owner: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?

the reason i posted the definition in the first place was because i'd heard it in mudd club for years and was never really sure what it meant.

anyway, here's one of the replies on the word a day site:

From: Peirce Hammond (peirce_hammond ed.gov)Subject: terpsichorean

Brings back Monty Python's Flying Circus with John Cleese in the Cheese Shop declaring that the music being played did not bother him since "I delight in every manifestation of the terpsichorean muse." This is then followed, after considerable frustration in not finding any cheese available for purchase (of course), by "Shut the bloody bouzouki off!" To which the shopkeeper responds, "Told ya."Peirce Hammond, Bethesda, Maryland

A lot of Western animated humans, like Bob the Builder, get an extra finger when they are put on the Japanese market. Because the Yakuza cut off the little finger of someone who cannot pay his debt. And 4 is bad luck.

Oh, and from the Understanding Shakespeare class: the completely harmless words nothing, wit, death, nunnery, cut (actually, spelled with a K, it still has this meaning in Dutch), stones, were all slang words with eyebrow-y meaning. Much ado about nothing.

Uh, what?

Sorry, you're right. It's not true. I'll check my Miyazaki's to see if any of them have a 4-digited character.

Quote:

Japan

The series aired in Japan as "ボブとはたらくブーブーズ" (Bob the Eginer). When being exported to Japan, it was reported that characters of Bob the Builder would be doctored to have five fingers instead of the original four. This was because of a practice among the Yakuza, the famed Japanese mafia, where members would "cut off their little fingers as a sign they can be trusted and have strength of character, and will stay through."[19] In fact, Bob the Builder aired in Japan without such edits,[20] as did other series including Postman Pat and The Simpsons.
